With joy, with joy, dear A&T,

the students turn from thee

To spread thy trophies year by year from

Dare to Cherokee.

Dear A&T, dear A&T, the signet

Set by our great old commonwealth,

proud boaster of the free;
She'll have the record of her worth on
granite not inscribed-
Nay let the children of her birth proclaim
it by their lives.

Javelle: "Looking back at the
journey that A&T has taken in

self, a better ment as a human being that
is what I think of when looking back the
progression of a people who will forever

Neidy:

"Reflecting upon past

Dear Aggies:

Over the past 11 decades, our university has celebrated
stellar success in educating students from across the globe
with our challenging academic programs. We are excited
that this great institution continues to be one of America's
respected public land-grant institutions that is comitted
to fulfilling its fundamental purposes through exemplary
undergraduate and graduate instruction, scholarly and cre-
ative research, and
effective public service.

This year has been a year of celebrations as the university
family and the Greensboro community celebrated the 50th
Anniversary of the 1960 Sit-ins, sparked by four coura-
geous young A&T freshmen students who elected to stand
up for what was right and just. This historical moment has
captured generations and catalyzed they opening of the
renowned International Civil Rights Center and Museum at
the location of the former Woolworth's facility where the
sit-ins began.

We pride ourselves here at North Carolina A&T for being a
place where we motivate our students to explore, to dis-
cover, to become; and where we prepare our graduates -
to not just read about our history, but to mal<e it - where
we challenge our young scholars by asking them - liow will
they make a difference in the world?

Sincerely,

Harold L. Martin, Sr.

Instanhticm

Ceremony

North Carolina A&T installed its 12th Chancellor, and first Aggie alum, on Friday, April 23, 2010 in the Corbett Sports
Complex. Before the actual installation, there were a series of events throughout the week that helped celebrate the
theme of the installation, "North Carolina A&T: Making a Difference." The week began with community service initia-
tives where A&T students planted trees and installed light bulbs in local area housing developments. Earlier that
day, the Chancellor read to elementary school students.

The Lyceum Committee sponsored a black film festival on Tuesday, followed by a ladies luncheon that honored A&T
first lady Davita Martin on that Wednesday. Later that evening and earlier the next morning, there were two panel
discussions about HBCUs reaching out into the community and how they make a difference. Thursday evening cul-
minated with an Afro-Cuban jazz concert.

The Chancellor's Installation Lyceum Series hosted "Making A Difference: Rhythms of the African Diaspora, The
Message in the Music,' " in Harrison Auditorium. The event was sponsored in part by WNAA 90.1 FM.
A short video called "The Jazz in Us" was played to set up the concert and explain the theme. Wiggins interviewed
Delfeayo Marsalis and Mondre Moffett before their traditional straight-ahead jazz performance.
Marsalis, the trombonist and member of the legendary Marsalis jazz family, discussed the significance of Afro-Cuban
jazz today.

"Dance is universal and Afro-Cuban jazz brings that element to the music that most other genres do not. There has
been a communication breakdown within African Americans and we have to bring back the definition of dance so we
can 'shake that thing' like they did back in the day."

Having two wins and one loss under their belts,
j the Aggies were greatly anticipating another
: win. Fans were particularly on edge, eager to
see how the game would unfold. With less

than one minute left in the game until halftime,
the Hampton University
Pirates scored another touchdown bringing the
score to Aggies 7, Pirates 14, and ending the
first half. After the A&T Marching Machine
dominated the last bit of half time with the
beautiful ladies of Golden Delight, the pirates
'■ wasted no time as the second half began, scor-
ing another touchdown.
Gritting their teeth, grasping the edge of their
bleachers, with eyes wide open, counting every
second on the clock; fans throughout the sta-
dium anxiously awaited the final outcome of the
game. Damp from the rain and covered in grass
stains, the Aggies received their second loss
of the season as the game ended with the final
score being. Aggies, 14, Pirates 24.

GREENSBORO - One match doesn't erase an entire
season, but for about 75 minutes on Friday, all was
good with the North Carolina A&T volleyball team.
The Aggies defeated Winston-Salem State 3-0 (25-
10, 25-14, 25-17) at Corbett Sports Center. It was
a match that included Aggie players dancing on
the court and Aggie fans of all ages dancing in the
bleachers.

The last time the Aggies and Rams met it was not
a festive occasions for N.C. A&T. Top hitter Janae
Mitchell didn't play because of an illness in a 3-1 loss
to the Rams in Winston-Salem, N.C, on Oct. 11.
Mitchell and the Aggies obviously had vengeance on
their minds. Mitchell finished with a match-high 13
kills and nine digs. Sophomore Bree Dotstry added
eight kills, just one attack error and two blocks, while
junior setter Amber Inman posted 32 assists, eight
digs and four service aces.

In the first set, the Aggies jumped out to a 10-2 lead
behind the might of Dotstry who had three of the
first 10 points. N.C. A&T kept the onslaught going
by posting a 9-0 run in the second set to take 23-11
lead.

A/INSTON-SALEM - The North Carolina A&T men's basketball team utilized something it had not utilized in its
Irst two meetings against Howard.
Aggressiveness.

The Aggies went to the free throw line 39 times. They went a combined 31 times in the previous two meet-
ngs. That coupled with strong bench play from sophomore Nic Simpson and redshirt senior James Porter led
;he Aggies to a 65-55 win over the Bison in a play-in round game at the 2010 MEAC Tournament played at the
.awrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Tuesday.

The win puts the Aggies in the quarterfinal round against top-seed Morgan State Wednesday night at 7. N.C.
\&T also avoided its first three-game sweep by Howard in more than 30 years. Simpson led the Aggies with 21
)oints off the bench. Porter added 12 points and six rebounds in a reserve role.

'We really attacked that basket tonight," said Eaves, who led the Aggies to their first MEAC Tournament win
;ince beating Norfolk State 81-66 in 2007. "In our first two games against them we were very lethargic. To-
light, we played like we had our backs against the wall, and that's how you need to play in a tournament like
:his."

The Aggies regular season did not end on a happy note. N.C. A&T lost its final four games. In three of those
james, the Aggies held double-digit leads in the second half. The lead wasn't exactly double figures at the
J: 12 mark, but they were ahead 48-39.

\n old familiar feeling seemed to be creeping up as Mike Phillips scored off of an Aggies turnover. The Bison's
(andi Mukole followed with two free throws, and Paul Kirkpatrick's spin move pulled the Bison to within three
St 48-45 with 6:06 remaining.

Eaves called a well-timed timeout. Porter, who played a major role in making sure the Aggies went to the free
hrow line by going 11 times on his own, answered the Bison challenge by coming out of the timeout and con-
certing a 3-point play to give the Aggies a 51-45 lead. Porter's layup and free throw sparked an 8-0 run that
)ave the Aggies a double-digit lead at 56-45 with 1:53 to play.

My mindset coming into this game was do or die," said Simpson. "We don't want the season to be over I
vasn't going to accept it."

f the Aggies are able to upset Morgan State, they will get Thursday off before playing in the semifinals at 6
).m., on Friday "To win a tournament, you have to play the very best," said Eaves. "They have proven over
he last few years that they are the best in our conference. You never want to avoid playing the best."

Aggie Cheerleading has always
been a great credit to the uni-
versity and for the past three
years have proven themselves
time and time again by bringing
home first place
championships.
The girls pride themselves on
their great work ethic and stu-
pendous coaches, Adjoa Botwe-
Rankin and Wenalyn Bell. You
know what they say, from great
leaders comes
greatness.

GREENSBORO - Conference opponents had a
hard time scoring against the North Carolina
A&T baseball team, and they also had a hard
time stopping the Aggies from scoring.
That was reflected when the MEAC released
the 2010 all-conference teams. Sophomore
pitcher Esterlin Paulino was named MEAC
Pitcher of the Year. Kelvin Freeman picked up
the conference's Rookie of the Year honor,
while Nick Rogers accomplished the rare feat
of making first-and-second-team all-confer-
ence.

Sophomore outfielder Xavier Macklin joined
Paulino and Rogers on the first team. Rogers,
who made the first team as an infielder, was
a second-team selection at pitcher. He joined
sophomore second baseman Marquis Riley on
the second team.

"We're very happy our peers have recognized
the hard work of some of our players," said
head coach Keith Shumate. "We have had
some individuals who have really performed,
and it is good to see them rewarded."

ORMONl^iSl^^a. - A fairy tdl^HH#ff93 North Carolina
A&T's seven seniors walking away with a MEAC Softball cham
pionship after finally getting back to the championship game
after falling short as freshmen.

Unfortunately, reality was cruel to the Aggies on Saturday.
Bethune-Cookman scored five runs in its half of the sixth inninc
to claim the MEAC Championship with a 7-3 win at the Sports
Complex.

It was the Wildcats' first MEAC title in six years. Allison Garcia
was named tournament MVP. For the Aggies' seven seniors, it
was their second championship game appearance in four years
They are the only two title game appearances in school history.

Junior Jennifer Luper, senior Channing Statham and freshman
Hope Fletcher had two hits apiece. Senior Britney Reddick
finished the game with two RBIs. Luper, Statham and Jessie
Larson were named to the all-tournament team.

136

The loss for A&T signaled the end of seven
careers that helped turn the so
in the right direction. White, Philpot, Bullock,
Larson, Reddick, Philpot and Bianca Also-
brook won 115 games. At the plate, they hit a
combined .311 with 76 home runs, 547 RBIs,
143 doubles and nine triples. In the classroom,
they combined to compile a 2.96 grade point
average.

Their departure means the Aggies will look
dramatically different next season. An impres-
sive senior class is slated to return next season
in Luper, Ryanne Hill and Antoinette Torres.
Luper won MEAC Rookie of the Year honors in
"08, and Hill earned MEAC Player of the Year
honors as a sophomore.

Solid outfielders Ashley Carter and Danielle
Nguyen will return as juniors next season. The
Aggies had five freshmen on the roster this
season led by Fletcher and her .275 batting
average. Eight more freshmen are scheduled
to come in next season, which will turn the
Aggies from one of the more veteran teams in
the conference into one of its youngest.

The 2010 season comes to an end at 28-27.

SUMTER, S.C. - For the second straight season, the North
Carolina A&T women's tennis team is headed to the I^EAC
Tournament. The Aggies won twice at the 2010 Tennis
Round, including a win over Norfolk State which guaran-
teed them a berth.

"Whenever you reach one of her goals for the season, it's
always good," said head coach James Dunwoody. "Our
young ladies really came to play. We have played some
[itough competition before coming to Sumter (S.C). It was
good to see the ladies still willing to be competitive."
Junior Winnie Quick led the way for the Aggies with three
wins during the round up. Quick also won three doubles
matches along with senior Jaymee Jones. The Aggies
defeated Norfolk State 6-1. It wasn't easy for the Aggies.
Jones had to outlast Jennifer Astbury 6-3, 6-4 in No. 1
singles. Nina Henry defeated Chenge Tsapayi 6-3.
The Aggies other win came against Maryland-Eastern
Shore, which does not count toward their conference re
cord. The Aggies were dominant against the Hawks.
Three different Aggies won 6-0, 6-0, including Quick,
Henry and Azeib Nigatu. Meanwhile, two of the three
doubles matches ended 8-0 in favor of the Aggies.
N.C. A&T opened the round up with a 5-2 loss to
Bethune-Cookman. Quick was able to defeat Stacey
Lopez 6-4, 6-2 in No. 3 singles. Nigatu then defeated
Andrea Paez 6-1, 6-1 in No. 6 singles. Nigatu leads the
team in wins with four.

On the men's side, the Aggies top runner was Ste-
ven Leggins. Leggins placed second in the 7k race

ished led the Aggies to a 22-33 win over the Eagles.
N.C. Central's James Kukat placed first as he fin-
ished the meet in 25:13.35. Rounding out the top 5

time of 27:20.32 and the Aggies sophomore Danze-
to Cephas whose time of 27:39.17 had him finishing
fifth. Also scoring for the Aggies was Paris Reddick-

Austin James, is an Elementary Education Major from Harts-
ville, SC. James graduated from Mayo High School for Math,
Science, and Technology in spring 2006. In the fall of the
same year James made A&T his home. Having served for
the university book store, residence life, and aggie athletics,
just to name a few; James has made his impact on many
facets of the university. In the spring of 2008 James was in-
ducted into the Zulu Zeta Chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraterni-
ty Inc. In the spring of 2009 James was elected as the first
Mr. NC A&T SU. In the spring of 2010 James participated in
the Mr. HBCU King's Competition and placed 1st runner up
(second place).

When asked how it felt to become the first MR. A&T James
replied, "being elected as the first Mr. A&T was and still is
truly an overwhelming accomplishment. All of my emo-
tions can be summed up in one word; thankful. Thankful for
those responsible for the creation of the position, those who
elected me to serve, and those who supported me through-
out the school".

With that, MR. James is well deserving of the title Mr. A&T
for he is the true sprit of AGGIE PRUDE.

students, while others come toira^^OToettierestivities of the Greatest Homecoming on Earth
But whenever they come, people do not leave without knowing the rich history of this great
institution.

On February 1, 2010, a beautiful thing happened. It became the 50th anniversary of the ,
Greensboro sit-ins, a protest initiated by David L. Richmond, Franklin E. McCain, Ezell A. Blair ^
Jr., and Joseph A. McNeil ,four A&T freshman that would change the course of black history
starting by sitting down at a "whites only" lunch counter at the RW. Woolworth Store in down-
town Greensboro in 1960. A&T decided to show their appreciation for what these young men
did in a big way. ^

It was called "Celebrating the 50th Sit-In Anniversary: A Spiritual Thanksgiving." The ever*^^
celebrating this historical moment took place from January 28th up until February 1st. OoBre •^
28th, a town hall forum entitled "21st Century Activism and Protest: The State of the Civ"
Rights Movement," was held in the Alumni-Foundation Event Center and was hosted by^awar^
winning television and radio personality Ed Gordon and the panel included Rev. Jesse L Jacks^ '
son, journalist and former ESPN sports analyst Stephen A. Smith, and radio talk show host \ftfer-
ren A. Ballentine. i»l

One of the highlights of the weekend was the performance of "The Emmett Till Story," a play
written and directed my A&T's own, JOMC junior Kevin Wilson. <

It has been a whole 5 years since the "Scotts" was renovated but was never tmly dedicated. It
happened on February 1, 2010, the dedication of the A&T Four Buildings in honor of the A&T
Four. (Aggie Village) Before the dedication occurred, the moment we had all be waiting for was
finally here, the ribbon cutting ceremony and grand opening of the International Civil Rights *
Center & Museum in the RW. Woolworth building in downtown Greensboro. Thousands of A&T
students, alumni, family and friends marched down to the historical site to be a part of history

Aggie Fest is the first chance for A&T and the surround-
ing colleges to experience the rehab of Aggie Pride. The
w eek long event is expected to restore Aggie Fest to the
time when it was in competition with homecoming for
size and stature. Aggie Fest is the last official event for the
current Student Government Association members and the
\\ elcoming party for the newly elected staff. Events are
planned for the entire week including a prom, a step show,
concerts, and a basketball tournament. Senior theater major
Asha Al-shair said that Aggie Fest has not lived up to its
hype in the past. "I think the events in the Holland Bowl is
usually pretty fun because people can see it just by walking
by and getting involved and it is nothing you have to buy a
ticket to."" Ai-shair said that since she is a theater major, she
Joesn"t get out much and she wishes that more events for
homecoming and Aggiefest were on campus because the
events are about community. SGA President elect Marcus
Bass laid out his plan for the return of Aggie excellence
during his campaign for office

His first official assignment is fun and games, but the hard
work that comes with the office of SGA President is quickly
approaching. When asked what he expects of Aggie Fest he
simply said, get ready. "Aggies can expect the rebirth, for the
last couple years we kind of been catching heat about Aggie
Fest. so we have lined events up from Sunday to Sunday and
to my knowledge, that has not happened for quite some time.
You can expect a free week and a live dollar weekend." Bass
said that students are basically getting a week of entertainment
for five dollars and it promises to be like no other. Homecom-
ing is usually a hip-hop show and even though many students
claimed they didn"t like it. a large number of students must
have because the last homecoming was a sellout across the
board. The money earned during the week of homecoming
pays for Aggie Fest in the spring.

A-G-G-I-E, what? P-R-I-D-E, what? Gimme Dat!!!
On Monday, October 26, 2009 at 6:00 p.m.,
Aggie Pride filled the seats and floor of Corbett
Sports Center. The Aggie Dog mascot danced
and forced the crowd to their feet as DJ Red
October played F.L.Y's "Swag Surfin". Hosts for
the pep rally included Joseph Eschoban, Mr. A&T
Austin James, SGA president Seyene Jasmin.
jThe Black National Anthem or "Lift Every Voice"
was sang by Couture Word. Following the Black
National Anthem, Chancellor Harold Martin wel-
comed the students to the pep rally and spoke
positive notes for 2009 homecoming week. The
chancellor left the students chanting three echo-
ing Aggie Prides. The three times defending
MEAC Champs blue and gold Aggie Cheerlead-
ers took the floor chanting "Get Up Aggies, Ag-
gies Get Up!!!" The cheerleaders pepped up the
crowd with their infamous signature cheers "Ag-
gies Rock the House" and "Go Aggies, Hey Hey!"
After the cheerleaders did their precise stomps,
shakes, and jumps, junior class president Wayne
Kimball gave a brief speech which included "H—
-O-M-E-C— O— M-I-N-G, its Homecoming y'all!"
An alumnus from A&T's class of 1973 also gave a
short speech. In her speech she sent a message
out to the Bethune Cookman University Wildcats
stating that if they can't hang with the big dogs,
then they should stay under the porch. The Ag-
gie Maniacs and Livewires took over and chanted
three chants that they will use at the football
game to cheer the football team on. Junior Travis
Jackson introduced Couture Word as they took
the stage for the second time. Couture Word
spoke on the history and success of A&T and
sang a song that includes lyrics "Greatest Home-
coming of all, best week ever made." Next, the
jazz and modern dancers of Blue Reign danced
on stage to songs such as "I Get Crazy" by Nicki
Minaj, "I Do" by Lil Jon, and "My Partna Dem" by
Rich Kids.

vfter Blue Reign exited the stage, Virginia brought
he crowd to their feet as she outstandingly sang
wo songs counting "Killing Me Softly" by Lauren
iill. The co-captains from the volley ball team then
ook the microphone to ask the student body for
heir support at their upcoming volleyball games,
'he co-captains also introduced the 2009 volleyball
eam's roster. Also our new head football coach
\lonzo Lee spoke to the audience. He established
o the pep-rally attendants that the football team
)rought back a victory the past weekend over the
ioward Bison and that the football team was now
eady to gain another victory on the upcoming Sat-
irday over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats. The
ootball team was quiet for the majority of the
)ep rally but once Coach Lee chanted their chant
So Hard to Be an Aggie," the football team finally
vas hyped. Once Coach Lee left the stage, Cou-
ure Dance performed their dancing skill to three
ongs which incorporated "Slide to the Left." After
:outure Dance finished, local Dudley High School's
tep team UMOJA stepped to entertain the crowd,
"hough late arrival, the Blue and Gold Marching
'lachine marched through the doors of Corbett to
ake the spirit of the pep rally to another level. The
narching band played six songs which included
Smash Something", "Maybach Music", "Neck/Hay",
ind of course "Aggie Spirit" to conclude the pep-
ally.

North Carolina A&T State University is
known to have "The Greatest Home-
coming on Earth." Rain or shine, the
show must go on.

A&T students definitely stood true to
that on a very special rainy Tuesday
afternoon. Tickets had been on sale for ,
weeks and hundreds of students and
guests stood in line outside of Corbett
Fitness Cenenki order to get the best
seat they could for the 2009 Homecom-
ing Comedy Show. This years' show
featured funny men Lil' Duval, Kevin
-^ Hart and Arnez J. There was big talk of

•"'•^ the show before Tuesday even came. "I

was especially excited about this years' ■
show. I'm a big fan of all three comedi-
ans," junior Trey Savage stated. As the
Photo By AarikaWal lights were dimmed and the DJ played
the tunes, the Aggie filled gym became
anxious and ready to laugh.

166

First up was rookie to the comedy
game, Lil' Duval. Born and raised in
Florida, Duval gave us a "little" taste of
his comedy. "I just say what you all are
scared to say," Duval stated. Duval's
comedy consisted of jokes about his
upbringing, sex and just everyday life.
"Hey, I'm only 5'4 tall.... I have no choice
but to keep it real, right?" Definitely
agreed Mr. Duval.

Next up was funny man Kevin Hart.
We already have had our laughs while
watching this man in several Hollywood
box office movies but on that day. Hart
bought the laughs right to Aggie Land...
for a much cheaper cost. Straight out of
Philly, Hart enjoys cracking on old co-
workers and more importantly, his kids.

IMtNG

If I can't laugh and nnake fun of them, who can?"
Hart said. "They know that this is daddy's career.
And plus, the jokes I tell about them is the reason
Daddy brings home the checks. They will be okaylj

Last up was veteran comedian Arnez J. Even though^
the students that currently attend A&T might not be
old enough to truly appreciate his comedy antics,
Arnez still bought the tears due to the laughter he
caused. "I enjoy talking about my brother Rodney
because he has special needs and because that's my
brother and I can," J says. J also made fun of some
of the things that we deal with as the generation
coming up in the world. He really focused on our
music. "Yall have no idea what good music is.. ..but I
must say I will get down with some of the music yall
listen to," J laughed.

While watching different stand-ups, many people
might think that being a comedian is just a job. But

■W|l)I@|i|Bt<3lUlti|IfBt<®Bt'|i|'€@@at<|i|l|t@I@*®®1|i1i|[@e|li@lti|lgBp[ilr^^

ing Kevin Hart and Lil'Duval figure out who is taller
between the two of them, once the curtains closed,
it was obvious that comedy isn't just a car
lifestyle. Aggie Land was lucky to have thd
a lit?tl^ste of what that lifestyle is like. ' ,

The reigning champions from the Eta chapter of Phi Beta Sigma

was "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Golden Boot",
in reference to the winning trophy. The video had the same sto-

Sigmas' Sparrow challenged the crew to a step-off for the tro-

Vith parking a disaster and a long line
lutside the Carolina theatre there is an
iverwhelming feeling of excitement as you
walk in and grab what you feel is the perfect
set. You are greeted with some of the most
recent music form some of the most popu-
M lar artist of our time, then the lights fall and

guess what; the music Is stalled. As soon
gg^£S things settle down the music starts with
master mixes of everyone's favorite
childhood movie Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate factory and various artist. Verge
models open the show with synchronized
movement, colorful gigantic candy, ice
cream cones, and costumes that parodied
the different themes of the movie. Girls
in skin tight violet leotards and high hills,
young supple skinned women unwrapping
life-sized dark chocolate male model Wonka
Bars, and the colorful life like backdrops had
the crowd on their feet yelling and scream-

the movie "Saw" and "Dead Silence", models
painted as the undead and ventriloquist dummies
coming out of coffins, and doing modeling rou-
tines in eighteenth century costumes. The crowed
seemed blown away at the amount of detail and
hard work put into the show by both Verge and
Couture. Several students commented that they
were happy "it was not a waste of money". One
freshman said, "This was be the highlight of

Ivercast, mist turning to rain, and chi

^inds were the weather conditions on th^^ i
Saturday morning of October 31. Normally, j
weather like this would keep people inside,
but today was HOMECOMING and not even
the thought of sitting in less than welcoming
weather conditions outside for hours could
deter the Aggie alums, students, and fans.
Shortly after Sam, the streets near the stadi-'
um were packed with spectators; old, young,,
and everything in between. One could smell
the alluring aroma of the first funnel cakes i
of the day and hear the first sounds of fish i
being fried. However, what caught every-
one's attention was the sound of the NCA&T
Marching Machine, which led the way for the
Homecoming 2009 Parade.

With wet uniforms and sweaty brows the
band ignored all signs of less than ideal
weather and marched merrily. Drum majors
dipping, and jumping, majorettes twirling,
and the ever energized band

"Oh no! It's cloudy out!" I said when I woK^p that
Saturday morning. But as I lool<ed out my window
and saw all the people walking around the beautiful
A&T campus, I realized that it wasn't just an aver-
age Saturday morning. It was Homecoming 2009.
The Greatest Homecoming on Earth!
Aggie alumni, family and friends come from all over
the place in order to get a piece of the Aggie expe-
rience. Not even the weather can stop the loyal fans
of the Aggie Football team from showing their love
and support. The team was set to play the Wildcats
of Bethune Cookman College on this rainy Hal-
loween afternoon but the only thing scary was the
score.

The Aggie fans were disappointed to be defeated
by the Wildcats with a score of 31-7. But while
the team was lacking on defensive, the fans in the
stands were trying their hardest to keep the sup-
port flowing during the game. The Aggie fans were

But while the team was lacking on defensive,
the fans in the stands were trying their harde
to keep the support flowing during the game.~It
was pretty easy with the Blue and Gold March-
ing Machine blessings the fans with some old
school tunes. "I didn't know colleges really had
football games like this. I just thought they did
it on TV," 15 yr. old Eboni Austin said. "I would
love for my high school to be like this." Looks
like we have a future Aggie on our hands.
"When my friend told me to come visit for
Homecoming, I never imagined anything like
this," visitor Charne Rollins said. "I go to school
in upstate New York so we never have anything
like this."

Even though the Aggies were defeated dur-
ing the game, they weren't defeated with their
character The Aggies walked off the field with
their heads held high. To the fans, it is just a
game. But to the A&T Football team, it's an op-
portunity to rebuild and do better.

Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated was
organized at Howard University on January

1 6, 1 920 as the result of encouragement
given to our five founders by Charles Tay-
lor and A. Langston Taylor, nnennbers of
Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated.
These Sigma brothers felt the campus
would benefit by the development of
such an organization as sisters to the
fraternity. Thus, Zetas and Sigmas be- i
came the first official Greek-letter i

sister and brother organization. m

The five founders dared to depart
from the traditional coalitions for

African-American women and
sought to establish a new orga-
nization predicated on the pre-
cepts of scholarship, service, sis-
terhood, and Finer Womanhood.
For eighty-eight years, the trail

blazed by the founders has
been traveled by thousands i

of women dedicated to the i

emulation of the objectives 1

and ideals of the sorority.

the Zulu Zeta chapter of lota PhiTheta's mission is to promote the
notion of a father's importance within the home as not just a par-
ent, but more as a mentor role-model, and co-provider of the posi-
tive emotional and behavioral stability of children.

Statistically, a substantial amount of African-
American children grow up without fathers
and/or father figures in their homes.These
children (especially males) grow up to re-
ciprocate this precedent. To combat this
disturbing pattern, lota PhiTheta Fraternity,
Incorporated has created The Developing
Better Fatherhood Project: Developing
|k Better Fathers and Father Figures.

\ The objective of this project is to at-
\ tempt to address the pattern of fa-
M therlessness in the African-American
community lota's mission is to pro-
^ mote the notion of a father's impor-
tance within the home as not just a
parent, but more as a mentor; role-
model, and co-provider of the
^ positive emotional and behavioral
rjj stability of children, lota PhiThe-
ta will look to develop fathers
and father figures with the
' premise that a father's worth
is simply not just procreation,
but to also play a significant
role in the improvement of
I the future of the African-
V American community and

Dr. Goldie Byrd, chair of the biology de-
partment at North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University, is one of many
educators from across the country to re-
ceive a top presidential award for teaching
excellence.

President Barack Obama named more than
100 science, math, and engineering teachers
and mentors as recipients of two prestigious
Presidential Awards for Excellence. The
educators will receive their awards in the
Fall at a White House ceremony.

The Presidential Award for Excellence in
Science, Mathematics and Engineering
Mentoring, awarded each year to individu-
als or organizations, recognizes the crucial
role that mentoring plays in the academic
and personal development of students
studying science or engineering and who
belong to minorities that are

nderrepresented in those fields. By of-
fering their time, encouragement and
expertise to these students, mentors
help ensure that the next generation of
scientists and engineers will better re-
flect the diversity of the United States.

Candidates for the Presidential Men-
toring Award are nominated by col-
leagues, administrators, and students
from their home institutions. The
mentoring can involve students at any
grade level from elementary through
graduate school. In addition to being
honored at the White House, recipients
receive awards of $10,000 to advance
their mentoring efforts.

Phot By Sharelle Burt

J^ Jasmine Gurley

When a student first leaves home,
especially going away to college, the
first thought that pops into their minds
is: freedom. Studies are just about the
furthest thing from their mind. But
you always fmd that one student that
comes to college and the one thought
that comes to mind is: success. Jasmine
Gurly had that very same thought when
she first came to North Carolina A&T.
"To be honest, I only applied because
my best friend wanted me to. I never
imagined I would be attending this
school," Gurly said. Once she applied,
she realized that scholarships were
being thrown at her left and right so
she figured she would give it a try and
took a tour along with her mother. "It
just felt like I was supposed to be here.
Just felt right," Gurly said of her Ag-
gieLand home. Besides focusing on her
studies, Gurly knew that one thing she
wanted to accomplish while attending
A&T was to join the swim team. She
conquered that task her freshman year
and walked right on the team. "I've
been swimming all my life so I knew
that wouldn't be that difficult," Gurly
brags.

When asked what kind of impact she
wants to have on the school and on her
fellow peers, the sophomore from Prince
George's County, Maryland
responded in a way that you wouldn't
get from a sophomore in college. "I
always wanted to give back to those that
gave to me. That was whole reason why
I wanted to become Miss Sophomore,"
the Public Relations major stated. She
reminisced on a trip she took to Jamaica
with a group of missionaries that she is
a part of. "We weren't in the nice part of
Jamaica with the resorts and blue water.
We were in the parts where poverty was
extremely visible and it just made me
realize how blessed I am. That's when I
realized my passion for wanting to help
people."

The Metro City Aggie secretary shows
extreme Aggie Pride with all of the
activities and community services she
is involved with, all while being in the
honor's program and holding 3.5 GPA.
"I'm proud of everything that I have
accomplished, but I will say this: I am far
from finished," the sophomore states.

Mike Mayhew

Being a student athlete is not easy.
School work, the cafe and then practice
is all student athletes know. For some
it's just an extracurricular activity to
keep them out of trouble. For others,
it's just a step closer to their dreams.
Mike Mayhew falls right into that
category.

"Emmitt Smith is my idol . Just the way
he carries himself as a player and a
man makes me want to be a better
player," says the Charlotte native.
"Football has been in my life since I
was a child." Mayhew didn't always
want to come to A&T. He really came
due to all the scholarships that were
thrown his way but now that he is here,
the sophomore sports science/fitness
major, wouldn't have it any other way.
This year, the Aggie football team had a
great year but Mike Mayhew had

an even better one just by himself.
With just two games into the season,
Mayhew received the Rookie of the
Week, which is very commendable for
Mayhew to just be a freshman on the
field. But the awards didn't stop there.
At the end of the season, Mayhew
received the MEAC Rookie of the Year
award. "I didn't know what to think
when I received the news. I guess I
was just real proud of myself,"
Mayhew says.

Mike said he realized all the success
he could have while red shirting his
freshman year. It was then that he set
his career goals. "Of course I would
love to go to the NFL and play for
either the Panthers or the Eagles, but
with my degree, I would love to be
physical therapist or a gym teacher,"
the running back says. "I'm starting to
enjoy kids since my coach has us going
to elementary schools mentoring and
tutoring sometimes."

A&T's Finest

By: Sharelle M. Burt

North Carolina A&T State University has a
variety of athletic activities for the students
to participate in. Some teams might go
harder than others but they all represent
the same Aggie Pride. There have been
many moments during the semester where
the athletic department has exemplified
their hard work and effort, like when the
A&T football team stomped on the North
Carolina Central Eagles during the Aggie
vs. Eagle Classic. For other teams it may
take time and patience to reach the suc-
cess they deserve. No other team knows
that more than the North Carolina A&T
Flag Football team, also known as "A&T's
Finest."

"To only practice three times a week for
one hour, we do a great job," says campus
recreation director and head coach Robert
McNair.

The flag football team first came around
in 2006. The team's season is from mid-
September to New Year's and they go
extremely hard and sometimes goes
unnoticed but their Aggie family. They
also have a mixture of undergraduate and
graduate students on the team, which is a
main reason why they are called "A&T's
Finest" in the first place. A&T's Finest
have won at least three North Carolina
Collegiate Flag Football Championships
from 2007, 2008 and 2009. Last year, the
team went to take the national champion-
ship title against N. Florida State but fell
short. This year was a different story when
they went to take the National Champion-
ship title against UNC Charlotte and won
with a score of 20-7.

One of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, Haiti in recent years
has struggled with problems ranging from near-constant political upheaval, health
crises, severe environmental degradation and an annual barrage of hurricanes.
On Jan. 12, 2010, a devastating earthquake struck Haiti, reducing much of its capi-
tal to rubble. It was the worst earthquake in the region in more than 200 years.
A study by the Inter-American Development Bank estimated that the cost could
be between $7.2 billion to $13.2 billion, based on a death toll from 200,000 to
250,000. The toll was later revised by Haiti's president to upwards of 300,000.
Huge swaths of the capital, Port-au-Prince, lay in ruins, and thousands of people
were trapped in the rubble of government buildings, foreign aid offices and shan-
tytowns. Schools, hospitals and a prison collapsed. Thousands of new amputees
faced the stark reality of living with disabilities in a shattered country whose terrain
and culture have never been hospitable to the disabled.

JACKSON DEAD AT 50 AFTER CARDIAC ARREST

(CNN) -- Entertainer Michael Jackson died after being tal<en to a hospital on
Thursday having suffered cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles County
Coroner's office.

Paramedics took Jackson, 50, from his west Los Angeles home Thursd
afternoon to UCLA Medical Center, where a team of physicians attemp
to resuscitate him for more than an hour, said brother Jermaine Jackst
He said the famed singer was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PT.
An autopsy is scheduled Friday, he said. Results are expected Fridr^
afternoon, according to Lt. Fred Corral of the Los Angeles coroner^
fice, who also said Jackson was unresponsive when he arrived at t
hospital.

Fire Capt. Steve Ruda told CNN paramedics were sent to a west Lc
Angeles, California, residence after a 911 call came in at 12:21 p.n
; Law enforcement officials said the Los Angeles Police Department,
'■ Robbery-Homicide Division opened an investigation into Jacksq
death. They stressed there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoii
I but that they would conduct interviews with family members a
I friends. i

; CNN Analyst Roland S. Martin spoke on Thursday with Marlon '
Jackson, brother of Michael Jackson. ■ —

; "I talked to Frank Dileo, Michael's manager. Frank told me
Michael last night was complaining about not feeling well. He
called to tell him he wasn't feeling well. M

I "Michael's doctor went over to see him, and Frank said, m
'Marlon, from last night to this morning, I don't know whalfl
; happened.' When they got to him this morning, he waj"^
I breathing. They rushed him to the hospital and couldn
i bring him around."

"Janet Jackson is grief-stricken and devastated at the
: sudden loss of her brother," Kenneth Crear, her manag'
said. "She is ... flying immediately to Califc ■ ■ ■

ON THE GULF COAST

June 15, 2010 Sadie Kneidel- www.basilandspice.com

Could a touch of foresight have prevented the BP oil spill? Recently
released internal BP documents suggest that a little discretion could
have staved off what has been described as the largest environmen-
tal disaster in U.S. history.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee made public a series
' of BP emails and documents from the months preceding the April 20
catastrophe, revealing that the company's disastrous oil spill in the
Gulf was no surprise. Or at least, it shouldn't have been.
The dozens of documents divulge a series of money-saving deci- fl
sions that compromised the safety of the rig. In the six weeks "
preceding the disaster, BP had spent at least $22 million on the
rig, which was overdue to move to its next location. To minimize
this hemorrhage of $500,000 per day, BP made a series of money-
saving decisions. The company saved $7 million to $10 million
by selecting a riskier design model for the well. In addition, they
chose to use only six of the 21 recommended "centralizers," or

(devices that assure that the well casing stays centered. Finally, the
company decided against a test of the cement's integrity, called a
cement bond log.

Would a safer design, more centralizers, or sturdier cement have ^
prevented the rig from exploding? Had the rig not been delayed i
^id losing money, would BP have made these compromises? It's f
hard to say, and bitter to contemplate. On his fourth and latest f
trip to the Gulf, Obama vowed that the area would one day return (
to normal - or better than normal. However, the American public \
has its doubts. A recent USA Today/Gallup poll revealed that more ;
' than half of Americans expect the catastrophe to impact the Gulf
- , for at least a decade to come. Eighty percent expect an indefinite
i_ impact on the economy, food, and gas prices, and half

^-- _ of those surveyed predict that the coastal eco-

' -- system will never fully recover The Gulf

Is now paying a higher price for
^"*^' that infamous rig than
--, BP ever did.

lUAKF IN CHILE

www.thehuffingtonpost.com
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The earthquake in Chile was far stronger than the one
that strucl< Haiti last month - yet the death toll in this Caribbean nation is magnitudes higher.
The reasons are simple.

Chile is wealthier and infinitely better prepared, with strict building codes, robust emer-
gency response and a long history of handling seismic catastrophes. No living Haitian had
experienced a quake at home when the Jan. 12 disaster crumbled their poorly construct-
ed buildings.

And Chile was relatively lucky this time.

Saturday's quake was centered offshore an estimated 21 miles (34 kilometers) under-
ground in a relatively unpopulated area while Haiti's tectonic mayhem struck closer to
H^ surface - about 8 miles (13 kilometers) - and right on the edge of Port-au-Prince,
factors that increased its destructiveness.

"Earthquakes don't kill - they don't create damage - if there's nothing to damage/
I said Eric Calais, a Purdue University geophysicist studying the Haiti quake. ^fff

The U.S. Geological Survey says eight Haitian cities and towns - including this '

capital of 3 million - suffered "violent" to "extreme" shaking in last month's
7-magnitude quake, which Haiti's government estimates killed some 220,000 '

people. Chile's death toll was in the hundreds. A

By contrast, no Chilean urban area suffered more than "severe" shaking - the ^
third most serious level - Saturday in its 8.8-magnitude disaster, by USGS M

measure. The quake was centered 200 miles (325 kms) away from Chile's M-
capital and largest city, Santiago.

In terms of energy released at the epicenter, the Chilean quake was 501
times stronger. But energy dissipates rather quickly as distances grow
from epicenters - and the ground beneath Port-au-Prince is less
"-*-w«8R stable by comparison and "shakes like jelly,"

■ says University of Miami geolo-
gist Tim Dixon.

Whafs in a name? Based on genetic analysis of the virus,
"swine flu" is not an accurate name. Tlie virus has also been
called North American Influenza A (HlNl), North American
Influenza, and Mexican flu. The World Organization for Animal
Health (OIE) recommends the virus be referred to as 'North
American influenza', in keeping with the naming of other
outbreaks of influenza in the human population. On April
29, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebel-
ius. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acting chief
Richard Besser and other US officials announced the virus
has been named 2009 HlNl flu. The AVMA's materials
have been updated to reflect this nomenclature. On April
1^0, 2009, the WHO announced it will refer to the virus as
lenza A (HlNl). i

CDC has determined that the 2009 HlNl flu viif

.tains genetic pieces from four different virus soL,.

lich is unusual. The virus consists of North American
ine influenza viruses, North American avian inflr^

has become a worldwide pandemic.
The symptoms in people are very similar to hu^^^

support of Beyonce.

"I'm sorry, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he proclaimed as B
looked on from the crowd, stunned. « '

During the 2007 VMAs in Las Vegas, West delivered another rant and lost his_te«

Ye's rants are usually in support of his own work. He memorably took th^

A porn star anOHpHBake house waitress added their names to an

ever-increasing list of women who have come forward or been called

, out for reportedly having affairs with golf superstar Tiger Woods,

"■'nging the tally to at least nine. Tabloids over the weekend named

1 star Holly Sampson and pancake waitress l^indy Lawton as two

e names on Tiger's steamy scorecard, raising the question of ha

EYuvJs would have been able to keep so many affairs secret for so 1
ing. Sampson, 36, is a busty blonde and Los Angeles resident. Ttj^
star of the films "OMG, Stop Tickling i^le" and "Flying Solo 2" has i
denied an extramarital affair with the golfer, whose squeaky clean
, reputation has been tarnished since a bizarre early morning car

accident two weeks ago raised questions about the stability of his
I marriage and was followed by a slew of allegations about alleged
affairs. Denver-based lawyer Andy Contigulgia, representing SanH
son, has declined to comment and did not return calls from ABcB

.- Most of the women linked to Woods are models or work at somefl
le country's swankiest nightclubs, but Lawton, 33, who disclose
jer alleged relationship to Britain's News of the World, worke^r
$8 an hour at a Perkins restaurant in Orlando. fl

"Sometimes I looked like a rag doll after we'd made love," shew
the paper "He really did like it quite rough. He wanted to spanfl
me and loved pulling my hair as we had sex. He also liked me fl
talk dirty to him, but hair-pulling was what really turned him oJ
For one year, beginning in 2006, Lawton said she and Woods 9
' regularly saw each for sex, partying at Orlando's Blue Martin' 9
club and having sex in the golfer's home and in his car parte
a church parking lot.

One of those backseat trysts was reportedly caught on film b
photographers working for the National Enquirer in 2007. Th(
story was quashed and the affair covered up when Woods
agreed to appear on the cover of Men's Fitness, a title also
owned by American media, in a quid pro quo with
the publishing company, according to
U.K.'s Mirror tabloid.

MIAMI — The New Orleans Saints turned the Super Bowl's postgame cel-
ebration into something out of the French Quarter.
From the trophy podium on the field, Drew Brees blew kisses and caught
confetti raining down as Dr. John and Professor Longhair blared from the
stadium speakers. Sean Payton hung over the railing clapping and shout-
ing down to the crowd as if he were rolling on a Mardi Gras float, thecM
waved a newspaper with the banner headline "WORLD CHAMPS." fl
Who are the champions? The New Orleans Saints, dat's who. -^|

The Saints overcame an early 10-point deficit, pulled off a risky onside
kick and won their first NFL title by beating the Indianapolis Colts 31-
^7 Sunday night. Brees tied a Super Bowl record for completions and
ft/vas voted the game's MVP, while the Saints held Peyton Manning to a
fcngle score in the final three quarters, intercepting him for a touch- *'"
*"~"n that sealed the victory.

f Orleans knows how to celebrate, but for the beleaguered cii
its long-bedraggled NFL franchise, the championship toucN
i new kind of joy. "Four years ago, who ever thought this wc
lappening when 85 percent of the city was under water?" Bi
I. "Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever ^
lie back, or if the organization would ever come back. We just
boked at one another and said, ' We are going to rebuild to-
her. We are going to lean on each other' This is the culmina-
1 in all that belief."

arly an hour after the game, Saints rooters kept chanting ^,
;ir rally cry. Who Dat? One player climbed into the stands,

lers tossed their sweaty padding to souvenir seekers, and .

ach Payton held up the Lombardi Trophy so fans along f
Failing could touch it. "I just wish we could split it up in a I
of little pieces," Payton said. With the city still recovering
i from Hurricane Katrina, an NFL title is sure to accelerate t
^fealing. It was the Saints' first appearance in a Super Bov.
few outside of Louisiana foresaw a victory, with Ind\

AVATAR.

http://en.wikipedia.org

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction film written and directed by James
Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Ste-
phen Lang, Joel David Moore, and Michelle Rodriguez. The film is set in 2154,
when humans are mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a
lush moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system. The expansion of
the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local tribe of Na'vi—
a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film's title refers to the ge- i
netically engineered Na'vi-human hybrid bodies used by a team of research- i
ers to interact with the natives of Pandora. Development on Avatar began J
in 1994, when Cameron wrote an 80-page scriptment for the film. Filming M
was supposed to take place after the completion of Cameron's 1997 film ^^
Titanic, for a planned release in 1999, but according to Cameron, the ^^

necessary technology was not yet available to achieve his vision of the
film. Work on the language for the film's extraterrestrial beings began
in summer 2005, and Cameron began developing the screenplay and
fictional universe in early 2006.

Avatar was officially budgeted at $237 million. Other estimates put
the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production and
at $150 million for promotion. The film was released for traditional
2-D viewing, 3-D viewing (using the RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD
3D, and IMAX 3D formats), and 4-D viewing.The stereoscopic film-
making was touted as a breakthrough in cinematic technology.
Avatar premiered in London on December 10, 2009, and was
released overseas on December 16 and in North America on De-
cember 18, to critical acclaim and commercial success.The film_
broke several box office records during its release and becaf
the highest-grossing film of all time in North America and !
worldwide, surpassing Titanic, which had held the records for
the previous 12 years. It also became the first film to gross ^-

more than $2 billion. Following the film's success, Cam-
eron stated that there will be at least two sequels.Avata^^
was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best
Picture and Best Director,and won three, for Best Cinema-
tography, Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction. \

:o the Editor

Office Manager
Class of 20 1 I - History major

This past year has been full of life changing experiences that I have become

thankful for, I have gained friends that feel i can call family, spent too much

money on Starbucks coffee, and written a lot of papers for class.

Working with the 2009-20 1 0 Ayantee yearbook has been fulfilling in so many

ways, and intermingling with the staff has opened my eyes to new ways of

thinking; I am thankful to have worked with all of you.

Famous Quotes to Live by:
'You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and

the only way, it does not exist."
Friedrich Nietzsche

"The only thing that one really knows about human nature is that it changes.

Change is the one quality we can predicate of it.The systems that fail are

those that rely on the permanency of human nature, and not on its growth

and development." Oscar Wilde
